Introducing Hatsune’s January Specialty Dish of the Month

I’ve been switched on to Beef Tongue ever since The Taco Bar introduced their Lengua Tacos into my life. So for anyone who thinks Beef Tongue sounds weird, think again.

I find that it doesn’t matter where I am in the world, many different cuisines will feature beef tongue on their menus. And whenever I order a beef tongue dish, it’s guaranteed to be juicy and tender. And Hatsune’s Sizzling Beef Tongue Rice Bowl is no exception.

Showcased as their monthly featured dish of the month, this off-menu dish is worth a trip to Hatsune alone. No longer will you be only craving their California-style sushi creations. The well-marbled beef over a bed of rice and topped with diced spring onions and nori strips is served to your table still very pink. Don’t be alarmed, your server will then politely ask you for permission to pour in a small cup of thick Yakiniku sauce covered in sesame seeds. Once the sauce is poured right on top, your server will proceed to thoroughly mix up all the ingredients in the hot stone pot, which turns the beef tongue to a light brown color.

About Hatsune’s monthly off-menu specialty dishes:

From Okinawa Ramen to Crab Hot Pot and that gorgeous Aki Sushi Tartare (that rainbow of sushi pictured below), Hatsune continues in their tradition of creating regular off-menu dishes to keep their sushi addicts on their toes and delighted to keep coming back for more.

“Inspired by travel, new kitchen gadgets or seasonal ingredients, each secret off-menu dish is available for only a set period of time (generally a couple of weeks) and a limited supply available each day.” – The Hatsune Team
